Additional Melee Slot (Chainsaw secondary)

Description
This addon assigns melee weapons in the game an alternative slot, allowing the survivors to carry both a secondary (pistols/magnum/chainsaw) and a melee weapon.

Change to melee by pressing 7 or scrolling through weapons.

NOTE: Fixed bug where you don't drop melee weapons when you exchange a different weapon


Original mod for detailed description

There's one minor conflict I need to mention in this mod: if you use a replacement melee weapon that has an assigned flashlight origin point like Alex_D's PD2 flashlight replacer for the nightstick, or any of tomaz's One-Handed Melee With Flashlight mods, the beam effect of the light will default to the center of your screen and bob right in front of your vision when you move, like this:

Apparently moving the melee to slot 7 like this mod does borks the flashlight mechanics.

This mod is a good fix for that:

Currently when I try to use both mods I can only hold a melee weapon or an ammo box but not both.

One thing I'm sad about is that you can't use the melee weapon while incapped, which you can in the original Duck Bard mod.

I hate to say it but this has just replaced the one I had made by another modder.
